Hi David:

Sorry for the long delay in responding to you.  I am just now restarting
testing of MinGW (4.5.0) and CMake-2.8.1 under Wine (1.1.42).

I did find the patch at the "patch" link accessible from
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commit;h=018c13ff73d9b7b151cb77f7adcbbb7be27f49d3

I notice the following result after applying the patch

software at raven> find -print0 -type f |xargs -0 grep -l shortPath
./Source/kwsys/SystemTools.cxx

Further investigation indicates bool SystemTools::GetShortPath is defined
that appears to be unused anywhere else in the source tree now that the
patch has been applied.  Therefore, shouldn't that method be removed?
